How to Fly a Helicopter...

[TomPPL]

Hi all,

 

Just came across this during my travels, thought I'd share it. I remember my first sub 10hours of flight time, never thought I would ever manage to hover..! See how easy they make it look here:

That was funny

 

I like how they said "Proper flying lessons are now more or less just a formality, but well worth it since helicopter pilots are loads of fun to hang out with."

 

I don't know if they were trying to be funny but, when they said "you know basic helicopter lessons are not all that expensive" I laughed.

 

Oh and don't forget, "The only other thing you need to know is that the red trigger shoots."

 

Thanks for sharing

That was funny, but it was really hard to tell if they were trying to be funny or serious. I still haven't made up my mind.

Yeah, couldn't figure it out myself. I'm torn 50/50.

They had to have a sense of humor when they put the text in the video explaining that the arm swinging a paddle around was NOT a real helicopter rotor.

It's English humor...recognize it from my wife
